Jeremy Lin still hasn't ruled out a return during the first round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs, but his chances of suiting up are becoming slimmer.

Lin, out due to a knee injury since late March, said he didn't feel great after a recent workout with the Knicks and doesn't expect to play in Game 4 on Sunday. He has already been ruled out of Game 3.

"It doesn't look great,'' he said of his chances to play Game 4, according to the New York Post's Marc Berman.

Lin noted that he's more optimistic about Game 5, but Game 5 might never arrive. The Knicks are down 0-2 after being thoroughly outclassed during the first two games of the series, and they will be without star power forward Amare Stoudemire at least for Game 3.
